The announcement has recently gone
the rounds that one John M. Klein, of
Kentucky, an astronomer" has dis
covered the Star of Bethlehem
which has reappeared in the sky,
its periods of visiting being about
800 years apart. Mr.. Klein asserts that
he has not only seen the star, but that 1t
possesses a most intense lustre. Its
position early in the evening in the mid
die of May was described as "in the
northwest, closely skirting the horizon"
the intention clearly being to identify It
with the supposed periodical star that
made its appearance in the constellation
Cassiopeia in 1572. Now, as matter of
fact, there is no such star visible, and
neither Mr.. Klein nor anybody else has
seen It. If It had been visible in the
position indicated in May (which it was
notl then 1t would now be seen at eleven
or twelve o'clock at night low in the
northeast. But 1t isn't there, although
the constellation Of Cassiopeia is there.
It appears, however, that Mr.. Klein takes

nonsense reminds me of the popular be.
lief, which had considerable currency
few years ago. that anybody could see
the moons Of Mars by viewing the image
Of the planet in looking-glass. The
moons" that gullible people supposed
they saw in their mirrors were Just as
real a. the "star" that Mr.. Klein thinks
he can see through his smoked glass.
But although it is not true that the
"Star of the Magi" has reappeared, yet
It is not altogether impossible that the
star to which that name has been given
may again suddenly blaze out with sur
prising splendor in our sky as it did in
the time of Tycho Brahe. 1t is also true
that If the star in question is period
ical star, as assumed, it is about due
again now. 1t may, therefore, be in
teresting to many readers to sum up
briefly what is known about this star,
and to show just how much reason there
is to expect its appearance.
On the 11th of November, 1879, new
star of wonderful brilliancy suddenly
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1887-07-28

appeared in the constellation Of Cas-
siopeia. By good fortune it was seen and
its phenomena were watched and re-
corded by the famous astronomer, Tycho
Brahe. His account of the outburst of
the star is very interesting. He says
ION my return to the Danish islands
from my travels in Germany, resided
for some time with my uncle, Steno
Billie, in the old and pleasantly situated
monastery of Herritzwadt, and here I
made it practice not to leave my
chemical laboratory until in the evening.
Raising my eyes as usual during one of
my walks to the well-known vault of
Heaven, observed, with indescribable
astonishment, near the zenith, in Cas-
siopeia, a radiant fixed star of q magni-
tude never before seen. In my amaze
ment doubted the evidence of my
senses. However, to convince myself
that 1t was no illusion, and to have the
testimony of others, l summoned my
assistants from the laboratory and in
quired of them, and of all the country
people that passed by, if they also OBJ
served the star that had thus suddenly
burst forth"
Everybody quickly became aware of
the new wonder in the heavens, and the
fame of it spread all over Europe, excit.
ing universal astonishment. 1t gradually
faded In splendor and at the end of sew
enteen months disappeared. It also
changed color, being at first white, then
yellow, then red and finally white again.
Tycho Brshe observed its place in the
heavens very carefully, and we thus know
the point where this strange star ap-
peared. There IL now at or near that
point . star of the eleventh magnitude,
and Of reddish color, which ON account
Of its faintness can be seen only with tel

In the years 1854 and 945 new stars of
great brilliancy had, according to an old
astronomer named Deovitius, appeared
between the cancellations Cassiopeis
and Cepheus, which would place them in
the neighborhood Of the spot where Ty.

Catching turtles and extracting
certain kind of oil from the eggs is the
only commercial pursuit Of these strange
people; Conibo land is emphatically q
land Of turtles. At certain seasons of
the year the chelonians come out Of the
Ucayli by the thousands to deposit
their eggs in the sand. They are not
disturbed until they have performed
their mission, when they are pounced
upon by the watchful natives and
slaughtered by scores. The eggs are
gathered and placed in q washtub, where
they are broken, and the yellow oil
which rises to the surface is collected with
rnussel shells. This stuff is run into jars
and sold to the missionaries, who use It
for cooking purposes. The annual out
put of turtle-egg oil is said to be enor-
nous.
The weapons of the Conibos are few.
They consist Of the bow and arrow, the
club and the shooting tube. The chonta
palm, which grows In abundance near
the Ucayli, furnishes them with wood
for their bows, the mauritia palm yields
them bow strings, and the Towering
stems of certain plant keep them in
arrows. They are obliged to depend on
